Megastar Mammootty-Ranjith to team up for mass entertainer

Megastar Mammootty is busy signing projects and the latest yo the list is a mass entertainer directed by maverick filmmaker Ranjith.

Ranjith who is known for his amazing work in scripting mass entertainers like Aaram Thamburan, Ravanaprabhu, Vallyettan and Narasimham is joining hands with Mammootty after the debacle Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty. This new movie is apparently titled as Vamban.

Ranjith-Mammootty combination has always given some brilliant movies like Kaiyyoppu, Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha and Pranchiyettan and the Saint.

Expectations are naturally high on this project. Mammootty’s last outing in a mass entertainer was Kasaba. After a good opening the movie had to settle as an average grosser.

Ranjith’s Loham with Mohanlal was also a mediocre work. So both of them would be looking forward to deliver a quality product for the audience to enjoy.

Sources indicate that shooting is scheduled to start by November. Right now Mammootty is busy acting in The Great Father directed by debutant Haneef Adeni. Produced by Prithviraj Sukumaran under his banner August Cinemas.

The Great Father also stars Arya, Mia and Kollywood actress Sneha in other important roles.
